I don't think the isk is what's going to kill the game. It's the matchmaking that puts multiple squads from corps against a team of all randoms. There are ways around running out of isk, but when they're not having fun actually playing the game, that's what gets people to leave.
When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.

Agreed, new players aren't going to quit because they run out of Isk, they wont be here near that long. They're going to die 500 times and see that there is no hope because CCP has given up and just quit.
Thing is, I don't think CCP has given up and quit. I think that they're working pretty damn hard at trying to get the game to where it should have been at launch. I think the biggest problem Dust has is that it was launched too early. Maybe if someone had pointed out that this year we actually have a whole month of 514 (May 2014 when you don't use the american dating notation) and they'd used the last year to get all the racial variants into the game whilst it was still in beta.

Most casual gamers will go there first 50 matches in CoD in negative KDR does not mean they will quit. For casual gamers the amount of times you die wont matter, they play to have fun.
The difference is in Dust, most of the time they're not even getting to 500 times as they're not having fun playing the game.

Well if they are not having fun they can go play a different game, that's what i would do.
The problem comes when there's not enough players left having fun to keep the game going.
That said I've found going back to starter fits brings the fun back. Might not work for new players but it seems to be working for me. Now maybe I'll see about dropping some BPO's in there as well.

Does it matter where they go?
They're not going to be here boosting the numbers in Dust and convincing CCP that it's worth their time to improve things.
